Lisle Police Declare Drunk-Driving Initiative a "Major Success"

Declaring Lisle Police Department’s participation in Illinois’ annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” drunk driving campaign a major success, Commander Ron Wilke reported that more than six significant arrests and fifteen citations were made during the enforcement period that ran from August 16, 2013 to September 2, 2013. 

“I am proud of our Officers for their hard work and dedication to making our community’s road safer,” said Wilke. “Drunk driving is more than a reckless choice by a few individuals,” Wilke relayed. “Each year, drunk driving costs the lives of thousands on America’s highways.

The Lisle Police Department joined forces with hundreds of police agencies across Illinois and nearly 10,000 law enforcement agencies across the country in this year’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.

The recent law enforcement campaign was funded by federal traffic safety funds provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation and is part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns.
